Dare to Dream Cycle of Tutoring
The Dare to Dream Academic Tutoring Cycle highlights the importance of knowing that learning and development are not linear processes. Setting reasonable goals and monitoring growth are significant parts of our ongoing cycle of tutoring, with each part feeding into the next. We evaluate and identify the need of our tutees using assessment data, family and school input, and previous work samples. We then use that data to customize effective strategies to serve each learner optimally.
